in reply to Modules that significantly contribute to {Impatience,Hubris}

To my way of thinking, modules that contribute to impatience and hubris would be ones that cause you to write more modules. Net::Server did that to me, and you might also look in the ExtUtils:: namespace.

    Howdy!

    Could you expand on that? I'm curious what about Net::Server motivated you (and in which way). I've used that module in the past, and need to get back to that project...so if you have something to say that might move me to consider alternative modules, I'm all ears.

      Well, I kinda needed a custom POP3 proxy, and I wanted the flexibility to be able to do arbitrary nonstandard things with it (e.g., disobey parts of the RFC in carefully considered ways; for instance, respond to DELE requests by marking the message as having been retrieved by that user account already, if more than one account are sharing a mailbox (so I can play with new mail clients and still get my mail in the regular one)). But creating the whole server architecture and everything would have been a lot of work, and I never would have found a TUIT. But since Net::Server existed, all I had to implement was the POP3 protocol itself. Hence, Net::Server::POP3 was born.


      "In adjectives, with the addition of inflectional endings, a changeable long vowel (Qamets or Tsere) in an open, propretonic syllable will reduce to Vocal Shewa. This type of change occurs when the open, pretonic syllable of the masculine singular adjective becomes propretonic with the addition of inflectional endings."  — Pratico & Van Pelt, BBHG, p68
